I don't know if you've noticed, but RO2 isn't exactly realistic anyway. take the uberbandages. Please don't pretend that more sway when exhausted will be the thing that makes RO2 unrealistic
Alot of things have been changed in RO2 from RO1, mostly to apparently improve 'playability'. I realize that playability for you may mean something else than for me, but I think we both should be able to voice our opinion

Oh noes! How dare Tripwire give people more options to defend themselves! Oh wait, admins can decide who to give the pistols and revolvers to.
What's an athelt? Oh wait, athlete. Well, we can perhaps assume that these guys are trained professionals who can get further than 10 metres without going "Mein gott! I'm exhausted!", and if not, eh, at the end of the day it has to be a fun game, taking forever to get to the frontline is not fun. I can see why they gave the soldiers more stamina in RO2. But I'm sure there'll be mods in no time that give soldiers less stamina, it's not a very tasking thing to mod.
Adversity towards change much? This doesn't really seem like a very intrusive change to me, especially since the minimap isn't ~that~ useful and if you really want to get your bearings straight you'll still have to pull up the real map like in the old days.
I really don't see the problem here, it coordinates gameplay, and helps people stay or get to where they need to go, especially on larger maps in Ostfront it could be a nightmare to get anything done since the players would fan out a bit too much. But again, either a toggle from Tripwire themselves or a mod can fix this easily, I wouldn't want the feature removed for ~all~ servers/players. I like to not be the only one sitting on an objective for a change.
If you were being realistic about your gameplay you wouldn't even consider wasting ammo on chairs or desks. =p That said, in the final game tanks will be punching holes into buildings with their main cannon so be careful what you wish for.
I don't really see where you're even getting the illusion from that Tripwire wishes to be politically correct considering the slurs and insults the two parties throw at each other during gameplay.
I wouldn't worry too much, you forget that Tripwire themselves are major WWII fanatics. And while I appreciated the cold realism of RO, I also understand and even appreciate most of the changes they made towards RO2 to make the game more accessible while still being much more cold and realistic than most, if not all of its competitors.
And I'll repeat, the mod tools will be there, everyone will be capable of changing the game to become the perfect hybrid of Ostfront and Heroes of Stalingrad. But I figure it's easier to lure in new fans with RO2 as it is and then perhaps ease them towards more realistic mods rather than keeping it exactly like it was in Ostfront and losing many potential customers due to it being "too hard" and "dull", better to give them a good and fun first impression and then educate them, in my opinion.

It's simply that you call Realism in things that are actually not Realism.
And whine that they are not implemented in the Unrealistic way you want them to.

alot of people seem to be missing the point so hopefully i can stop a few dumb posts with this one... the suggestions in this thread are for the HARDCORE game mode not the entire game. also IDK about everyone else but TO ME realism is fun.

I'm actually not. Some people do, but I don't.
I just feel that, you guys are entitled feel that the sway when winded is optimal for playability, and that I'm entitled to feel more sway would increase it.
RO1 had more sway when winded, and alot of players here are RO1 fans. That combined with the fact that TWI chose to put hardcore

I won't pretend. I actually believe more weapon sway is pointless and is moving away from realism. I have stated many times that there isn't a problem adding a bit more sway to the winded side of the stamina bar. That was before I actually took more time to examine the current sway and realized it does its job fine. No changes are needed in this department.
Playability has improved, but that's just because it was gimped by the initial overzealous, unrealistic, and silly realism attempt from the previous game. I see the change is jarring, but that's what also got me to purchase the game. RO1 kinda' felt like a rip off, thus I spent more time in ArmA land.
...and I already admitted that the medical system is wonky. I still think it's better than having nothing. I don't want to bleed out from a shot to the shoulder when I could just plug the hole and let it clot.

I dunno about you, but my Mosin Nagant is a heavy rifle. I cannot imagine carrying that, plus ammo, plus any other supplies, and then being able to run for the distances you can, and have it not affect how I aim such a heavy weapon.
This pretty much.

you saying a trained soldier can not carry ammo and shoot straight(with little sway)sway is perfect it makes game more fun

Many men during WWII weren't exactly well trained soldiers.
And also 'more fun' is a bit subjective.
I'm glad you find the default mode fun, that's probably why it is there, but between the Relaxed, hardcore and custom modes TWI has added, I would think there could be room for people who want more sway.

A Loaded M44 is .21lbs heavier than a loaded M16a4. A M38 is 1.29lbs lighter than an loaded M16a4. A M91/30 is .01lbs heavier than an loaded M16a4.
Basically, no, it's not a heavy weapon. This lack of heft is one of the main reasons it's known to shock untrained shooters and potential injure their shoulder. There is not much rifle there to absorb the recoil. Not to mention wooden furniture has never been the hallmark of comfort.

Is this OP serious? I'm actually having trouble figuring out if it is or just sarcasm.
Some of the points are legitimate, but most of it is just the oversight of the poster. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to sound cynical and rude but if the OP really played RO then I would assume they've kept up with RO2 information during development and up to now.
He/she should know that this is still just the beta, that many of the things he has trouble will will be configurable by the servers in the end game and that he's only been able to play relaxed realism mode up too now & not the more classic RO extreme realism mode.
